Overview of the data behind this chart
Sculptures and three-dimensional artworks ranked by hammer price at public auction in millions of USD. Alberto Giacometti's L'Homme au doigt (Pointing Man) sold at Christie's New York in 2015 for $141.3 million — becoming the most expensive sculpture ever sold at auction and the highest price achieved for any work of art created after 1945. The price reflected both Giacometti's towering status in 20th-century art and the extreme scarcity of major bronze sculptures from his peak period in post-war Paris.
